Juddery MAME?
kvncooper:
I have tinkered with my mame settings in the last few months, and ever since, I am seeing a distinct lack of smoothness in the games. It's difficult to describe but it's like there is a slight horizontal split in the screen whenevr characters etc move around or when there is some action. Very weird and very noticeable.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
I am using 0.126 version mame.
Thanks.

PC Specs? Graphics Card? monitor type?
Or was it fine before you tinkered

I'm pretty certain that it was fine before tinkering. In fact, I don't even know if it's the tinkering that has caused it. I have mame on a few different pc's (all same spec) and its doing it on each one.
Specs anyway:
1Gb Ram
2.8 processor
in-built graph card
monitor - happens on both 19" 4:3 and 26" 19:10

the split is called "tearing" and you fix it by turning on "Vertical Sync" ( AKA "sync with monitor refresh")

Assuming you are using a mame.ini file, if you find anything broken, just rename this file and recreate a new one. In doing so, everything will go back to default. You can then either tinker again or see what settings you changed/broke. The command is:
--- Code: ---mame.exe -cc
--- End code ---
